DAN MCCOIN passed 7 yards to Scott Tackett for a touchdown with 14 seconds remaining to lift Cincinnati (1-0) to a victory Saturday over host Virginia Tech (0-1). The Bearcats started the nine-play drive from their 27 with 2:26 left. The big play came when McCoin hit Tackett on a 29-yard pass after the ball had been batted in the air twice by Tech's Eddie Neel. The completion on a fourth-down play gave Cincinnati a first down on Tech's 26.
